Executive summary:

Materials and Methods

Male and female rats were exposed at 2000 mg/kg by cutaneous application of the test material in a paste formulation to 10% of the body surface. Exposure was for 24 hours under a semi-occlusive bandage. Clinical signs were observed over 14 days post-dose and all animals were subjected to necropsy at day 15.

Results and Discussion

No mortality was observed.

No behavioural or clinical signs were observed in any of the treated animals during the observation period.

LD50 (male and female rats combined) >2000 mg/kg.

Conclusion

LD50(male and female rats combined) >2,000 mg/kg.
